Sunday Challenge 51 - A picture is worth a thousand words
Moving on from the wonderful historical images, thanks everyone.
Here is an opportunity for you to interpret "A picture is worth a thousand words" with your own photo, letting it tell the story. Anything goes (family friendly, of course), and you may wish to add a description anyway.

“A picture is worth a thousand words….”
Or so the saying goes. In reality, a photograph only documents a second in time, and as time goes on, it is easy to forget why a particular moment was so important to capture. However, well-captioned photographs can tell us stories; they can give us information about the subject in the photograph that cannot be ascertained simply by looking at the image. In some instances, photo captions give us information about a subject or an event that cannot be found in any other type of record. So, while a photograph itself may be worth a thousand words, those words can be lost with time, making real words – captions – of the utmost importance.
The following photographs are examples of images that, on the surface, may appear unremarkable or uninteresting. It is the caption information attached to the pictures that give the images substance and meaning.
